EDMONTON, Alberta - Feb. 7, 2019 - Amzeal -- Edmonton entrepreneurs can now share their successes, challenges and favourite things about living and doing business in Edmonton with the launch of the Alberta edition of Canada's Podcast. Senior business writer and storyteller Mario Toneguzzi and communications entrepreneur Bonnie Elgie will co-host the show.

The Alberta Show will publish new episodes weekly starting in February featuring several high-profile Edmonton entrepreneurs including Teresa Spinelli, President of the Italian Centre Shop; Emily Salsbury-Deveaux, President & CEO of EMMYDEVEAUX®; and others.

Co-founded by Phillip Bliss and Robert Szmigiel, Canada's Podcast is a national organization that creates an active online community for entrepreneurs to stay connected on a local-scale while letting the world know about the incredible journeys Canadian business owners are embarking on. Canada's Podcast aims to highlight major regions and cities across the country while spotlighting trailblazing entrepreneurs who are making a difference in their communities.

"We wanted to create a national platform with carefully selected regional hosts to interview local entrepreneurs so they can provide advice, inspiration, information and share their journey," says Bliss, host of Toronto's Podcast. "We felt a national Canadian podcast would unite all the major cities so we could all learn and connect with each other. I've been fortunate and have had a great experience building companies in this country and we're excited about creating a platform to both promote entrepreneurs and Canadian businesses locally and to the world."

Canada's Podcast currently has shows in Vancouver, Toronto and Nova Scotia with Calgary and Edmonton's shows launching this month and Montreal's to launch later in Spring this year.

Szmigiel, who previously built one of Vancouver's top podcasts, hosts Vancouver's Podcast. "Canada's Podcast is experiencing great interest from local and national sponsors. For example, Shaw Communications recently teamed up as a sponsor. This is a great opportunity for local and national sponsors to meet with their target entrepreneurs."

"Edmonton's story and history is one built on individuals taking their visions and turning them into reality. We want to tell these stories of success in their own words as they provide inspiration and information for others in the city, Alberta and across the country," says Toneguzzi.

As a firm believer in the power of relationships, connection and collaboration, Elgie is passionate about building this national network of like-minded entrepreneurs. "There are many entrepreneurs doing innovative, exciting things in Edmonton, as well as a broad cross-section of well-established, proven success stories. I look forward to sharing all of these stories with our Canadian and international listeners."

Edmonton entrepreneurs from any industry are invited to reach out to the show for comments, questions and pitching interview opportunities. The podcast welcomes individuals who want to inspire others and provide real-life advice about what it's like to do business in Edmonton.
